NMR Spectroscopy!
Nuclear Magnetism!
NMR is a manifestation of nuclear spin angular momentum (P).!
P = h[ I (I + 1)]1/2!
I = angular momentum quantum number!
h= Planck’s constant/2!!
!
Possible Values of I:!
1.! I = 0, mass number (A) and atomic number (Z) are even!
2.! I = half-integral value, A is odd.!
3.! I = integral value, A is even and Z is odd.!
!
Nuclear Magnetism!
For NMR:
1.! I = 0 are NMR-inactive
2.! I > 1/2, nuclei possess electric quadrupole moment due to
non-spherical nuclear charge distribution. The lifetime
of the magnetic states for quadrupoles in solution are
much shorter than for I = 1/ 2 This results in line
broadening and the can be more difficult to study.
3.! I = 1/2 include 1H, 13C, 15N and 31P.
!
Nuclear Magnetism!
Due to restrictions of quantum mechanics only one of the
three Cartesian coordinates can be specified.
Pz = hm
m = (-I, -I + 1, …., I – 1, I) – magnetic quantum number.
!
Nuclear Magnetism!
Iz has 2I + 1 values of m. This behavior is called
directional quantization.
In the case I=1/2 In the case I=1!
Nuclear Magnetism!
Nuclei with non-zero spin angular momentum also possess nuclear magnetic moment:
! = " P
-" in part determines the receptivity of a nucleus in NMR spectroscopy. It is a constant for a given nuclide and it is referred to as the gyromagnetic ratio.
Therefore:
µz = m"h
- No simple model can predict or explain the actual magnetic moments of nuclei.
Nuclear Magnetism!
More Quantitatively:
µ = g ehI 4!Mc
M = mass
e = charge uniformly spread over the surface
c = speed of light.
Properties of some nuclei of importance in NMR
Nuclear Magnetism!
•! In the absence of an external magnetic field:
2I + 1 states of m are equivalent
•! In the presence of an external magnetic field, the
spin states of a nucleus have energies given by:
E = µz B0 = - Iz" hB0
B0 = static magnetic field strength.
Nuclear Magnetism!
The projection of angular momentum of the nuclei
onto the z-axis of the laboratory frame results in 2I +
1 equally spaced energy levels, which are referred to
as the Zeeman levels or Zeeman States.
In the case I=1/2 In the case I=1!
Nuclear Magnetism!
For Iz = 1/2 we have m = +1/2 and m = -1/2 in which
µz is either parallel or anti-parallel to the field
direction.
B0!
Nuclear Magnetism!
In quantum mechanics:
m = + 1/2 = spin function #$
m = - 1/2 = spin function %$
**Since we are restricted to single quantum
transitions:

Nuclear Magnetism!
In classical representation the nuclear dipole process about the
magnetic field direction with Larmor Frequency:
'o = "B0 (Radians/sec)
( = '0/2! = "B0 /2! (Hertz or cycles/sec)
The z-component is given by the magnetic moment:
µz = "Pz = m"h
Nuclear Magnetism!
When m = ± 1/2; the nuclear dipoles precess around a
double cone with a half-angle of the cone is 54.7°.
Due to the differences in populations of the energy states
there is macroscopic magnetization along the magnetic field
direction.
Nuclear Magnetism!
For a macroscopic sample:
The x and y components are random and sum to zero so:
But we know that :

Nuclear Magnetism!
So the macroscopic magnetization (M0) depends on:
•! The External Magnetic Field- B0
•! The angular momentum quantum number- I
•! The gyromagnetic ratio- "2
•! The temperature- 1/T
Note: I and " are specific to the nuclei of interest.
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR)!
What happens in NMR:
To induce NMR transitions a radiofrequency pulse is
applied to the sample. The pulse is generated by a linear
alternating electromagnetic field (B1) along a transverse
axis. This results in M0 being rotated into the XY plane.
Resonance Condition:

At 11.7 T : for 1H" = 2.675 x 108 (0 = 500 MHz
for 13C" = 0.6726 x 108 (0 = 125 MHz
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance!
Pulsed NMR:
- All nuclei are excited simultaneously by a radiofrequency pulse.
- Pulse angle is proportional to the pulse width (duration) and pulse power (Magnitude of B1 field).
-The coil is arranged so that this field is perpendicular to the applied field (in the x-y plane).
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance!
The oscillating magnetic field is equivalent to two counter-
rotating magnetization vectors:
We can use this pair of counter-rotating vectors as an
equivalent representation of the rf signal.
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance!
We will represent the rf along the x-direction as two vectors with the same magnitude (B1).
•! one vector rotates
clockwise B1 (r).
•! one vector rotates
counter-clockwise B1 (l)
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance!
Only one of the two components is capable of interacting with the processing nuclear dipoles (B1).
The sample magnetization is
static along the z-axis.
What happens when the rf
magnetization (which is moving)
interacts with the sample
magnetization?
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance!
The Rotating Frame:
The experimentally detected signal is subtracted from the
carrier frequency. We chose a set of coordinates that rotate
along with the nuclear precession.

ROTATING FRAME
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance!
The Rotating Frame:
How can we use this to look at rf pulses (B1)?
- In the rotating frame B1 is at right angles to M.
- The net result is to produce a torque acting around B1 at
a speed depending on the field strength.
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance!
The Rotating Frame:
How does this look in our two frames of reference?
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance!
The Rotating Frame:
What happens to M as we increase the length of the pulse?

Signal Detection!
Sensitivity of the NMR Signal$
+!= electromagnetic induction force in a detection coil
(Faradays Law of Induction).
Procession of a bulk magnetic moment about a static field
yields a time varying magnetic field. This produces an
induced electromotive force.
Signal Detection!
Higher field = higher signal (lose some to noise)
For two nuclei with same value of I their sensitivity is
related by :

Properties of some nuclei of importance in NMR
Relaxation!T1: spin-lattice relaxation time (longitudinal)!
T2: spin-spin relaxation time (transverse)!
!
-! After we remove the pulse, the magnetization vector
returns to equilibrium.!
-! Bloch assumed that the processes were first-order and
defined them by T1 and T2:!
dMz/dt = - Mz – Mo/T1!
so!
Mz = M0(1-e-t/T1)!
dMx,/dt = -Mx,/T2!
dMy,/dt = -My,/T2!

T1 Relaxation!
How do we determine the T1 value?!
! !M0 - Mz = Ae--/T1!
After a 180° pulse during the inversion recovery experiment M0 = -Mz so A = 2M0:!
!M0 - Mz = 2M0e--/T1!
!ln (M0 - Mz) = ln2M0 - -/T1!
!
Substituting I for M where I is intensity of signal:!
ln (I0-Iz) = ln2I0 - -/T1!
Tzero = T1 ln2!
T1 values can vary greatly from one nuclei to the next in the same molecule.!
T1 Relaxation!
Need to wait 5T1 periods for system to return to
equilibrium so:!
! !(5 T1 - 180°x' - - - 90°x' - FID)n !
!
Why measure T1?!
! !/2 pulse elicits maximal NMR signal at thermal
equilibrium.!
- for repetitive signal averaging this is not always the best
pulse angle.!
- need to wait about 5T1 for z-magnetization to return to
equilibrium.!
- more efficient to repeat sooner.!
T1 Relaxation!
Ernst Angle:!
! !Cos#E = e -Tr/T1!
- Tr = the delay between pulses.!
- best value of # actually depends on offsets of signals in
spectrum but this is an average value.!
If stick with !/2 pulses then:!
- the optimum repetition rate is Tr = 1.27 T1!
- in this case you are about 80% efficient.!
T1 Relaxation!
Influence of protons on 13C T1 values:!
!
- main contribution is via dipole-dipole
interactions, so directly bonded protons can have
large effects.!
- increasing the number of protons shortens the
T1 although the correlation is not always direct.!
Influence of molecular size on T1:!
- T1 values decrease as the size of the molecules. !
T2 Relaxation!
After 90°x' pulse Mz = 0 and net magnetization is along the
y-axis. The population of N# and N% are equal . !
Phase Coherence: a small proportion of nuclear dipoles are
bunched along the y-axis.!
T2 - determines how fast Mx' and My' return to zero.!
T2 Relaxation!
T2 Relaxation!
How do we view this?:!
-Nuclei change from one energy state to the other and we lose the phase coherence.!
- this is not the main contribution.!
Magnetic Field inhomogeneities: there is a small &B0 throughout the sample which leads to fanning out of signals.!
-fanning out process causes signals that are chemically equivalent to process with slightly different Larmor frequencies.!
- the net result is an increase in the line width of the various signals.!
By definition though T1 . T2!
T2 Relaxation!
Experimental Determination of:!
- We want to measure a true value which is independent of the
&B0 fanning out process.!
Spin-echo experiment:!
After initial 90°x' pulse you apply a 180°x' pulse at set interval -.!
At !2- - resultant transverse magnetization is -y' direction.!
!4- - magnetization is y' direction.!
!6- - magnetization is -y' direction.!
Etc……we get an echo with alternating phase at intervals of 2-.!
However, the net magnetization is decreasing with each echo
due to true spin-spin relaxation.!
T2 Relaxation!
T2 Relaxation!
!
-! the 180°x' pulse turns the Ay' component into the (-y') direction but has no effect on the Ax'. The angle between vector A and the y'-axis is unchanged if we disregard sign.!
- the effect of a 180°x' pulse is that vectors A and B undergo reflections in the x', z' plane.!
!
T2 Relaxation!
Quantitatively:!
! ! !My' = A e -t/T2!
!
At t=0 , A=M0!
!
! ! !ln My' = lnMo - t/T2!
!
since I # My'!
! ! !ln I(t) = ln I0 - t/T2!
!
Plot I(t) vs t where I(t) is intensities at each echo. Slope of line is -1/T2.!
!
T2 Relaxation!
For the most part we do not concern ourselves with T2
measurement.!
- Of more consequence is T2* which takes into account the
inhomogeneity of the magnetic field.!
